Solar-Blind UV Photodetector Based on Atomic Layer-Deposited Cu₂O and Nanomembrane β-Ga₂O₃ pn Oxide Heterojunction.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we present a solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector realized using atomic layer-deposited p-type cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) underneath a mechanically exfoliated n-type β-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) nanomembrane. The atomic layer deposition process of the Cu₂O film applies bis(N,N'-di-secbutylacetamidinato)dicopper(I) [Cu(⁵Bu-Me-amd)]₂ as a novel Cu precursor and water vapor as an oxidant. The exfoliated β-Ga₂O₃ nanomembrane was transferred to the top of the Cu₂O layer surface to realize a unique oxide pn heterojunction, which is not easy to realize by conventional oxide epitaxy techniques. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated pn heterojunction diode show the typical rectifying behavior. The fabricated Cu₂O/β-Ga₂O₃ photodetector achieves sensitive detection of current at the picoampere scale in the reverse mode. This work provides a new approach to integrate all oxide heterojunctions using membrane transfer and bonding techniques, which goes beyond the limitation of conventional heteroepitaxy.

Radial heterojunction based on single ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowire for photodetector applications.

Project description:ZnO-CuxO core-shell radial heterojunction nanowire arrays were fabricated by a straightforward approach which combine two simple, cost effective and large-scale preparation methods: (i) thermal oxidation in air of a zinc foil for obtaining ZnO nanowire arrays and (ii) radio frequency magnetron sputtering for covering the surface of the ZnO nanowires with a CuxO thin film. The structural, compositional, morphological and optical properties of the high aspect ratio ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowire arrays were investigated. Individual ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowires were contacted with Pt electrodes by means of electron beam lithography technique, diode behaviour being demonstrated. Further it was found that these n-p radial heterojunction diodes based on single ZnO-CuxO nanowires exhibit a change in the current under UV light illumination and therefore behaving as photodetectors.

Chip-integrated van der Waals PN heterojunction photodetector with low dark current and high responsivity.

Project description:Two-dimensional materials are attractive for constructing high-performance photonic chip-integrated photodetectors because of their remarkable electronic and optical properties and dangling-bond-free surfaces. However, the reported chip-integrated two-dimensional material photodetectors were mainly implemented with the configuration of metal-semiconductor-metal, suffering from high dark currents and low responsivities at high operation speed. Here, we report a van der Waals PN heterojunction photodetector, composed of p-type black phosphorous and n-type molybdenum telluride, integrated on a silicon nitride waveguide. The built-in electric field of the PN heterojunction significantly suppresses the dark current and improves the responsivity. Under a bias of 1 V pointing from n-type molybdenum telluride to p-type black phosphorous, the dark current is lower than 7 nA, which is more than two orders of magnitude lower than those reported in other waveguide-integrated black phosphorus photodetectors. An intrinsic responsivity up to 577 mA W-1 is obtained. Remarkably, the van der Waals PN heterojunction is tunable by the electrostatic doping to further engineer its rectification and improve the photodetection, enabling an increased responsivity of 709 mA W-1. Besides, the heterojunction photodetector exhibits a response bandwidth of ~1.0 GHz and a uniform photodetection over a wide spectral range, as experimentally measured from 1500 to 1630 nm. The demonstrated chip-integrated van der Waals PN heterojunction photodetector with low dark current, high responsivity and fast response has great potentials to develop high-performance on-chip photodetectors for various photonic integrated circuits based on silicon, lithium niobate, polymer, etc.

PN/PAs-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures for solar cell and photodetector.

Project description:By first-principles calculations, we investigate the geometric stability, electronic and optical properties of the type-II PN-WSe2 and type-I PAs-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures(vdWH). They are p-type semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 1.09 eV and 1.08 eV based on PBE functional respectively. By applying the external gate field, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure would transform to the type-II band alignment from the type-I. With the increasing of magnitude of the electric field, two heterostructures turn into the n-type semiconductors and eventually into metal. Especially, PN/PAs-WSe2 vdWH are both high refractive index materials at low frequencies and show negative refractive index at high frequencies. Because of the steady absorption in ultraviolet region, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure is a highly sensitive UV detector material with wide spectrum. The type-II PN-WSe2 heterostructure possesses giant and broadband absorption in the near-infrared and visible regions, and its solar power conversion efficiency of 13.8% is higher than the reported GaTe-InSe (9.1%), MoS2/p-Si (5.23%) and organic solar cells (11.7%). It does project PN-WSe2 heterostructure a potential for application in excitons-based solar cells.

Ultrasensitive MoS2 photodetector by serial nano-bridge multi-heterojunction.

Project description:The recent reports of various photodetectors based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field effect transistors showed that it was difficult to obtain optoelectronic performances in the broad detection range [visible-infrared (IR)] applicable to various fields. Here, by forming a mono-/multi-layer nano-bridge multi-heterojunction structure (more than?>?300 junctions with 25?nm intervals) through the selective layer control of multi-layer MoS2, a photodetector with ultrasensitive optoelectronic performances in a broad spectral range (photoresponsivity of 2.67?×?106?A/W at ??=?520?nm and 1.65?×?104 A/W at ??=?1064?nm) superior to the previously reported MoS2-based photodetectors could be successfully fabricated. The nano-bridge multi-heterojunction is believed to be an important device technology that can be applied to broadband light sensing, highly sensitive fluorescence imaging, ultrasensitive biomedical diagnostics, and ultrafast optoelectronic integrated circuits through the formation of a nanoscale serial multi-heterojunction, just by adding a selective layer control process.

Lateral multilayer/monolayer MoS2 heterojunction for high performance photodetector applications.

Project description:Inspired by the unique, thickness-dependent energy band structure of 2D materials, we study the electronic and optical properties of the photodetector based on the as-exfoliated lateral multilayer/monolayer MoS2 heterojunction. Good gate-tunable current-rectifying characteristics are observed with a rectification ratio of 103 at V gs?=?10?V, which may offer an evidence on the existence of the heterojunction. Upon illumination from ultraviolet to visible light, the multilayer/monolayer MoS2 heterojunction shows outstanding photodetective performance, with a photoresponsivity of 103?A/W, a photosensitivity of 1.7?×?105 and a detectivity of 7?×?1010 Jones at 470?nm light illumination. Abnormal photoresponse under positive gate voltage is observed and analyzed, which indicates the important role of the heterojunction in the photocurrent generation process. We believe that these results contribute to a better understanding on the fundamental physics of band alignment for multilayer/monolayer MoS2 heterojunction and provide us a feasible solution for novel electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Ultrafast Charge Transfer 2D MoS2 /Organic Heterojunction for Sensitive Photodetector.

Project description:The 2D MoS2 with superior optoelectronic properties such as high charge mobility and broadband photoresponse has attracted broad research interests in photodetectors (PD). However, due to the atomic thin layer of 2D MoS2 , its pure photodetectors usually suffer from inevitable drawbacks such as large dark current, and intrinsically slow response time. Herein, a new organic material BTP-4F with high mobility is successfully stacked with 2D MoS2 film to form an integrated 2D MoS2 /organic P-N heterojunction, facilitating efficient charge transfer as well as significantly suppressed dark current. As a result, the as-obtained 2D MoS2 /organic (PD) has exhibited excellent response and fast response time of 332/274 µs. The analysis validated photogenerated electron transition from this monolayer MoS2 to subsequent BTP-4F film, whereas the transited electron is originated from the A- exciton of 2D MoS2 by temperature-dependent photoluminescent analysis. The ultrafast charge transfer time of ≈0.24 ps measured by time-resolved transient absorption spectrum is beneficial for efficient electron-hole pair separation, greatly contributing to the obtained fast photoresponse time of 332/274 µs. This work can open a promising window to acquire low-cost and high-speed (PD).

Thermodynamic Studies of β-Ga2O3 Nanomembrane Field-Effect Transistors on a Sapphire Substrate.

Project description:The self-heating effect is a severe issue for high-power semiconductor devices, which degrades the electron mobility and saturation velocity, and also affects the device reliability. On applying an ultrafast and high-resolution thermoreflectance imaging technique, the direct self-heating effect and surface temperature increase phenomenon are observed on novel top-gate β-Ga2O3 on insulator field-effect transistors. Here, we demonstrate that by utilizing a higher thermal conductivity sapphire substrate rather than a SiO2/Si substrate, the temperature rise above room temperature of β-Ga2O3 on the insulator field-effect transistor can be reduced by a factor of 3 and thereby the self-heating effect is significantly reduced. Both thermoreflectance characterization and simulation verify that the thermal resistance on the sapphire substrate is less than 1/3 of that on the SiO2/Si substrate. Therefore, maximum drain current density of 535 mA/mm is achieved on the sapphire substrate, which is 70% higher than that on the SiO2/Si substrate due to reduced self-heating. Integration of β-Ga2O3 channel on a higher thermal conductivity substrate opens a new route to address the low thermal conductivity issue of β-Ga2O3 for power electronics applications.

Mesoporous Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:This study reveals a unique Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 heterojunction photocatalyst obtained with metal-organic framework as the precursor, which can be utilized in dye photodegradation under visible light irradiation. The composition, structure, morphology, porosity, optical properties and photocatalytic performance of the obtained catalysts were all investigated in detail. The Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 nanocomposite is composed of lamellar Cu-Cu2O microspheres embedded by numerous TiO2 nanoparticles. Methylene blue, methyl orange and 4-nitrophenol were used as model pollutants to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 nanocomposite for dye degradation under visible light irradiation. Nearly 95% decolourisation efficiency of Methylene blue was achieved by the Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 photocatalyst within 3 h, which is much higher than that of TiO2 or Cu2O catalysts. The excellent photocatalytic activity was primarily attributed to the unique MOF-based mesoporous structure, the enlarged photo-adsorption range and the efficient separation of the charge carriers in the Cu-Cu2O@TiO2 heterojunction.

Ultra-High Performance Amorphous Ga2 O3 Photodetector Arrays for Solar-Blind Imaging.

Project description:The growing demand for scalable solar-blind image sensors with remarkable photosensitive properties has stimulated the research on more advanced solar-blind photodetector (SBPD) arrays. In this work, the authors demonstrate ultrahigh-performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) SBPDs based on amorphous (a-) Ga2 O3 via a post-annealing process. The post-annealed MSM a-Ga2 O3 SBPDs exhibit superhigh sensitivity of 733 A/W and high response speed of 18 ms, giving a high gain-bandwidth product over 104 at 5 V. The SBPDs also show ultrahigh photo-to-dark current ratio of 3.9 × 107 . Additionally, the PDs demonstrate super-high specific detectivity of 3.9 × 1016 Jones owing to the extremely low noise down to 3.5 fW Hz-1/2 , suggesting high signal-to-noise ratio. Underlying mechanism for such superior photoelectric properties is revealed by Kelvin probe force microscopy and first principles calculation. Furthermore, for the first time, a large-scale, high-uniformity 32 × 32 image sensor array based on the post-annealed a-Ga2 O3 SBPDs is fabricated. Clear image of target object with high contrast can be obtained thanks to the high sensitivity and uniformity of the array. These results demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the Ga2 O3 PDs for applications in solar-blind imaging, environmental monitoring, artificial intelligence and machine vision.
